Hello Friends ,
In our client network , our product is being installed through Group policy object with MSI .
Each time changes come , we hv to update version in MSI Setup Project (VS2005).
when user install this msi in this environment (GPO), they face message "unable to install a product bcoz newer version already installed" even user try to update new version on existing old version .
at our local development environment , we are not facing this problem.
Also we have set 2 property
DetectNewerVersion = true / false (message comes in both)
RemovePreviousVersion = true
what can be cause of this ?
1) GPO settings (bcoz we are not facing in testing)
2) MSI settings (upgrade code change before since last few versions -which we don't know how it changed)
3) Registry problem might occured at one of client PC ?
Plz Plz help .
Thanks in advance .
Regards,
Yogesh

Thanks for reply.
Our upgrade code was changed before few months which we don't know how it was changed.
Is there any possibility that this Message "newer version already" comes due to this change ?
As you suggest ,
Product code always change while version change .
Also DetectNewerInstalledVersion & RemovePreviousVersions is same as you told .
Plz help .

Yogesh

1. Increment the Version property.
2. Version property of installer project.
3. Change the ProductCode property.
4. Keep the value of "UpgradeCode" property, it needs to stay the same.
5.RemovePreviousVersions to true
6. DetectNewerInstalledVersion to false.

Scenario is as below
================
We develop Application & in our 3-4 developer's pc no one face problem such like "newer version already installed" even if we install any new setup (like 5.51/5.52/..) on any old setup(5.49/5.50)
But at our client 's location (which is in another country) , users are given this setup through GPO in their network .
when end user try to install this MSI , they get message "newer version..." though no new setup installed !!
& we can not replicate / check this issue at our local environment.
& this issue comes since last few setup .
-- Also in every MSI update , we change product version so Product code changes every time .
So plz help in this kind of situation how to replicate/track issue ?
Thanks in Advance
